Game was actually pretty fun! Controls could use a bit of work but I really like the art style you went with. It would be cool to see a few more enemy types and controls for turning the music on and off (or lowering volume). I'd also love to see other attack options than 'shoot' as well!

I really, REALLY like the music! The game itself is a little hard to parse, though. I really love RTSs and the idea of harvesting your enemies is super cool, but I think it could use some smoother interfaces. I kept thinking it was loading and not realizing it was my turn.

very good game. the sound design is good although a little loud. and the art style is very epic

I'm suspicious to say, because I also made a game of aliens harvesting human organs, but I loved the idea hahaha

I love strategy games and I know the difficulty of making one... congratulations! Great game!

First off, Love the sound recordings for the characters(xcom fan)! The combat pretty goood, and I absolutely love the screen rotation feature! Additionally, the music is amazing! It feels refreshing/energizing, and I could listen to it all day with no fatigue. Awesome work! >~<

I enjoyed the run animations of the humans, and the direction of the art in general. Thanks for the game!

A fun little strategy battler! Somehow, my game seems to have gotten stuck when I used the duplicate ability for the slime blob... it entered an animation where a second copy was walking, but he was clipped inside the first, and the entire game seemed to lock up.

Still, a nicely realized concept!

The music made the game ! Control may be a little touchy though. Harvesting human parts is fun.

Interesting concept. I think this game needs some improvements on the code side. Many times the UI is not really responding well. Also, this game have nice visuals!

Great game!

Ambitious game, some polish on the skills and actions to make them a bit more responsive when selected would have gone a long way but I understand that is hard with the time constraints. Good job overall.

@breadstick yeah we found that bug pretty much as soon as we uploaded the game, super sorry about it but we will be fixing it!! just dont duplicate morb on his second move

What I liked: - sounds design fit the graphic design -

What I didn't like: - the combat mechanics weren't clearly communicated - suggestion: more ui elements, like showing both walk and shoot range on mob select? Showing ammunition too perhaps? -the level design was quite bland, which is understandable given your scope. Which I think might have been a bit too big for a jam.

Overall I would say this is good prototype, and I can see you gained some valuable experience. Good job!

fun game, but controls are a bit confusing

That's a good start for a turn based strategy. Cool to see that our team isn't the only one that did something in that vibe. I loved the art. I think it would be a nice art style for a game, it just needs to stand out a bit from the background. Surely ther's no background because lack of time. Mechanic wise the game isn't that clear in what it does, it needs to be improved, but that's a lot of work to make it clear. I like how you display the area in which you can move, that's neat. Good job!

Nice game, i liked it. Also sound design is pretty cool. If controls were more polished game could be super fun. Good work!
